About

oh! the places we’ll go!

Hello friend!

I’m Lily, maker of happy things!

Lily Hoang-Zhu is an illustrator and designer whose work comes in all shapes and sizes for all sorts of things. You might know her as “liliuhms” across the worldwide web. She is based in sunny Denver, Colorado where she lives with her partner and always hungry dog. She comes from a giant (and ever growing) Vietnamese-American family, and is the eldest of 6.

In her mind, the world is full of color, whimsy, and sentient objects. Lily’s work encompasses the joy of being exactly who you are, and embracing being silly, just for the sake of being happy. She also scratches her creative itch with an original goods brand (liliuhms) where she designs home goods, clothing and more. Her other work includes toy design, packaging, brand design, character design, and various illustration odd jobs. Lily’s work has been showcased and licensed globally for brands like CASETIFY, and GIORDANO LTD. Lily is always open to working on exciting projects, collaborations, (or the next paddington bear movie?)

Right now, she’d really like to work on picture books.

You can send any book inquiries to: Kurestin Armada of Root Literary.
